Nancy

Boyda? or Pelosi? or both? is spurring quite a bit of discussion, on this blog and others.

I've made quite clear my opinions on why the two Nancys are tied at the hip.

But to answer the Bloc on immigration, Nancy Boyda may NOW have a different public stand on immigration, but she campaigned just like Nancy Pelosi.

In 2006, Nancy Boyda said two very important and well-documented things about immigration. First, she said that immigration reform needed to have a "clear path to citizenship." That is a code phrase for amnesty. Second, she said that we should not build a border fence.

This is where her heart lies on immigration, regardless of what she says now. It is likely where she will return if given enough time in office!

Moreover, it proves that Nancy Boyda is not a person of principle. If she truly believed in what she campaigned on, why abandon it? If she never truly believed that in the first place, then what other bill of goods was she selling the voters in a say anything mode to get elected?

I eat lunch nearly every week with a person that works for Boyda at the Gem Building. This person is really frustrated with Nancy's constantly changing positions and the interference that Steve runs in the whole operation. Every decision has to be vetted through Steve and its impact on contributors.

I was formerly involved in the 2006 Boyda campaign and must admit I am deeply disappointed in the performance of Nancy Boyda as a U.S. Representative. I had high hopes for her. I actually thought Jim Ryun had done a worthy job as our Representative but mistakenly bought into the notion that Boyda could do even better. Boy was I ever wrong. Folks, I have learned that "the grass isn't always greener on the other side".

you've all lost your minds if you think steve and nancy even still talk to each other.

i'll believe you're all 'insiders' who 'eat lunch with the staff' when you start talking about the REAL relationship those two have...or if you ever, once, don't just repeat what other witless wonders have said.

To the last poster...good attempt at spinning the dislike of the staff toward Nancy and Steve...they are definitely disliked by former AND current staff. Like most people, they need a job and won't publicly rock the boat.
